We Are the Problem

Malachi 3:6-12

“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it”

The people of Israel were not tithing like they were supposed to so God put them under a curse.

Then God proposed a test. He said start tithing like you are supposed to and then see what I will do for you.

Interesting… a test. Could the same thing work today?

- are we attending like we should?

- are we giving a financial offering like we should?

- How is our participation at church?

- Are we making any sacrifices to God at all in our abilities? our time?

- Are we respecting our parents?

- Are with being the kind of spouses we should be?

- Are we good employees/employers?

The list goes on and on. Accept God’s test and according to his promises he will open up the flood gates of Heaven for you.

Maybe the problems in our lives are because of us.

What do you have to lose? Give it a try.
